My money is on Cohen being indicted for FEC violations and bank fraud, it sounds like they've got a good case.

Who will be indicted next in Trump's inner circle?

I do think Jr is a target right now, or Mueller would have interviewed him.

I suspect they already have enough to charge Cohen, but I can see the mess over the sorting-out of the docs - if a master is appointed - getting really dragged-out. I don't think the feds would charge, until they see the whole picture with all the docs.
Sater is already working with the investigatory agencies, so rather than indictment I suspect he may have already pleaded.
Hicks would also likely be a plead as well, in my mind.
And Sessions is too entrenched, I believe. Indicting Sessions at this time would seem too upsetting to the FBI/DOJ/Administration hierarchy, of which the Mueller investigation is subordinate.
So of the list, that leaves Kushner & Don Jr., who from what we see would seem to both be eminently indictable. But being that close to Trump, I believe they would be indicted together at the same time, probably at the very end when any charges against Trump would be announced (perhaps along with Sessions).
In the end then, of the list I would lean to Cohen perhaps, but seeing Mueller's unpredictability I would say it might be someone else. I suspect perhaps some American(s) who hacked or assisted the hackers.

Perhaps.
But Jr. will likely fight the indictment, causing the possibility of a massive rupture. I see Kushner & Jr. as end-game fodder.

Sessions certainly "lacked candor" when he spoke before the Senate, so how Sessions statements will be interpreted by Mueller in his report will be of interest. Still, it's difficult to indict for anything when he's the sitting AG -- probably even more so than the president.
Who knows if there will be any further indictments, but I will say this. It's very interesting to me that Don Jr has yet to be interviewed by Mueller, when everyone pretty much everyone else has been. Either he has been and we don't know it (doubtful), or his lawyers have been informed that he's an active target of the investigation.
Prosecutors rarely talk to targets of their investigations, as any legal counsels strategy is to plead the fifth in any GJ proceedings, and so it becomes pointless to interview them.
